2015 MD youth's fishing rodeo program

[Monello]

Nothing in the immediate area.

Maryland DNR Fisheries partners with community organizations through our Youth Fishing Rodeo Program. Events are sponsored by a wide variety of community and non-profit organizations and Fisheries works with these organizations to provide support and assistance. Rodeos are held throughout the state between March and October and are generally open to participants from 3 to 12 years of age. Each year, thousands of children get their first fishing experience at a rodeo event and event organizers work hard to make sure all the children have a fun and exciting time. Most events provide bait or fishing gear and have volunteers on hand to help the kids learn to fish.

According to the website:

MD DNR Fisheries Service partners with local community organizations to introduce children to fishing at youth fishing rodeos

So I'd have to say a lack of local organizations willing to hold an event. Charles county holds a biannual youth fishing derby at Wheatley lake. Here's a link to that event. Chas Co fishing derby
